look at this i just was sweeping out my garage when i noticed this ripple on the passenger side of my car on the hood. It looks like some fat dude sat on it......

does anyone know how much this will cost to fix or if i will need a new hood all together.....

A BN Mazda hood is about $400. You could have that one bodyworked and repainted for considerably less.

As an aside, I bought a spare hood for just in case a fat guy ever sat on mine. A local 8 owner replaced his with an aftermarket carbon-fiber hood, and sold me his stock hood for $50. It's not my color, but I will repaint it myself (experienced booth painter) and have it ready if and when the fat man comes.

I resemble that remark, are you saying I sat on Anthony's hood? Hell if I sat on it you'd have to total the car.

A.Mair

A.Mair

vandalism>no detectable>free fix.

Depending on your excess, insurance sounds like the way to go.

New Yorker

Dentbusters, Dent Wizard, or some other paintless-dent-repair (PDF) place. They'll fix it—like new—in 20 minutes. No body work, no repainting. Prob $50 - $125, depending on where you live.

aluminum might not be so easy to fix.

BOLO

I wouldn't live with it. Either buy an aftermerket hood or get the dents pulled. Good luck

JT has/had his extra hood mounted as wall art, that's what you need to do with this dented pos

If you get it replaced colour match will be an issue....good luck though....

Go Carbon Fiber Ftw!

That dent is small enough so that they can do paintless dent repair on it pretty effectively. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Go to the dealer and have their dent guy take it out!!!!!! Its like 20 bucks per dent dealer cost and none of those dents would mess up the paint when theyre popped out. Your dealer would prob do that for <200 if they give a **** about their customers! **** if you want to drive 8.5 hours, come see me

I've never met you, Phil- and HE said it, I was only being sympathetic.

Besides, after the holidays, I resemble that remark, myself. The treadmill's getting a workout these days.

Since it's dented, he could use it as a sled, if he lived where it snowed more than 3 flakes in winter...

The tiniest rock chip makes me lose sleep. I'll be headed for the anger clinic if/when I get my first dent.

10 months now, still completely dent and ding-free.

A.Mair

yeah i need to go to the dealer actually, about my rear bumper. Ill let you all know how it goes. its really small i know but i dont wanna live with it, tings like this annoy me

Now's the time to get a vented hood.
